ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: C
This question assumes students are aware of current social reality related to illness, health insurance, and employment realities. Historically, the greatest health concerns were lost wages associated with sickness. Today many employment positions do not offer health insurance. In addition, many employment positions do not have sick leave; if you are not at work, you do not get paid.
